# TURN IT AROUND **Romeo Sapien & Chorus Angelicus — The Open Heart Band** *Lo-Fi Power Pop | Crunchy Guitars | Driving Drums | Male–Female Duet | Big Three-Part Harmonies* [Intro — Crunchy guitar riff, bass kicks in, drums crash] **[Romeo]** Hey! Hey! You can turn it around! **[Chorus Angelicus & Girls]** Turn it around! Turn it around! [Verse 1 — Romeo] When the morning starts to sour, And the rain becomes a shower, When your plans are falling down, And your smile becomes a frown. You can sit and curse the weather, Watch the whole thing come untethered, Or get up and take the wheel, Change the way you think and feel! [Pre-Chorus — Chorus Angelicus] There's a moment, there's a choice, There's a whisper, there's a voice, Saying, "Honey, don't you see? This is not how it has to be!" [Chorus — Romeo & Chorus, Explosive Harmonies] **Turn it around! Turn it around!** When it's going sour, find some power! **Turn it around! Stand your ground!** You can change the story in a single hour! When the whole damn world is upside down, Get your feet back on the ground! **Turn it around! Turn it around!** There's a little bit of sunshine waiting to be found! [Verse 2 — Chorus Angelicus] When a friendship starts to break, When you've made a big mistake, When the words you meant to say, Come out wrong and fly away. You can point and you can blame, Keep on playing that old game, Or say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong," And find a way to get along! [Pre-Chorus — Romeo] You don't have to win the fight, You don't have to prove you're right, Sometimes all you've got to do, Is let a little kindness through! [Chorus — Full Band, Three-Part Harmonies] **Turn it around! Turn it around!** When it's going sour, find some power! **Turn it around! Stand your ground!** You can change the story in a single hour! When the whole damn world is upside down, Get your feet back on the ground! **Turn it around! Turn it around!** There's a little bit of sunshine waiting to be found! [Bridge — Guitars Drop Out, Bass and Drums Continue] **[Romeo]** I can't change the wind! **[Chorus]** But you can change your sail! **[Romeo]** I can't always win! **[Chorus]** But you don't have to fail! **[Romeo]** What if I get knocked down? **[Chorus]** Then get back up again! **[Together]** The story isn't over, Till you write the bloody end! [Guitar Solo — Dirty, melodic, joyful, sixteen bars] [Breakdown — Handclaps, Bass, Playful Duet] **[Romeo]** Going sour! **[Chorus]** Find some power! **[Romeo]** Getting darker! **[Chorus]** Light the hour! **[Romeo]** Lost my way! **[Chorus]** Then look around! **[Together — Shouted]** You can always turn it around! [Final Chorus — Full Band, Soaring Harmonies] **Turn it around! Turn it around!** When it's going sour, find some power! **Turn it around! Stand your ground!** You can change the story in a single hour! You don't need a miracle, You don't need a crown, Just a heart that's willing, To turn the whole thing around! **Turn it around! Turn it around!** When it's going sour, find some power! **Turn it around! Turn it around!** Pick yourself up and turn it around! [Outro — Guitar Riff, Girls Harmonizing] **[Chorus Angelicus & Girls]** Ooooh, turn it around! Ooooh, turn it around! **[Romeo — Spoken, laughing]** Well, that worked out better! **[Chorus — Spoken]** See? I told you! [Final guitar chord, rattling cymbals, abrupt basement-tape ending]
